the brooklyn nine
The Brooklyn Nine took place during world war one and during the immigration migration. The main character Felix Schneider is a germen immigrant who cheered for the New York Knickerbockers as they played in 1845. In 1957 a ten-year-old Jimmy Flint thought he had enough to worry about with bullies and sputnik, but then the Dodger announced they were leaving Brooklyn in. In 1981 Michael Snider finds himself pitching a perfect game during the little league season at Prospect Park. Snider Flint tracks down a bat that belonged to one of the Brooklyn’s greatest baseball players in 2002. The immigrants need a lot when they got to America. The Brooklyn Nine by Alan Gratz accurately portrayed the 1800’s and the1940’s through education, large populations, and various religions of the immigrants during this time period.
The Brooklyn Nine had major conflict in it when Felix Schneider was cheering for the Knickerbockers and his idol Alexander Cartwright in 1845 when the unthinkable happens a fire breaks out across the city. The fire was called “The Great Manhattan Fire” of 1845. The volunteer fire brigade had to put it out before it spread and engulfed the whole city. Felix somehow gets entangled in it and gets more then he bargained for, Felix legs were badly burned in the fire. A union soldier Louis Schneider is taking a break from the toils of the war by playing baseball when shots ring out and the heat of battle ensues. When Louis is looking for his baseball he lost he makes a friends with someone who you wouldn’t think would be a baseball fan. Arnold Schneider gets involved in a vaudeville show showing one of his baseball heroes, King Kelly. After the show, Arnold realized that even heroes aren’t always perfect.
The Education of immigrants during this time was poor due to the number of immigrants that came through America from 1845 and 1854. (Glen 1)The American population increased by about 17.6 present during that eleven-year span. Between 1820 and 1996 about 63
